2.3.1.7 Import/Export Test Questions

This scenario shows a teacher exporting  the test database to a file and importing a database from a file. In this scenario, we will assume the teacher has added at least one question to the question database.

Figure 1 shows the teacher selects 'Import/Export' from the 'Repository' menu. The system brings up a dialog box shown in Figure 2 that allows the teacher to export to a file or import from a file. The Figure shows an 'Import/Export' dialog that contains two fields. The 'Save to file' fields specifies which file to save the question database. The 'Open from file' field specifies which database file to open.

The teacher chooses to save the file "Question_database.file" in the current folder in Figure 3. Once the teacher clicks 'OK' the system saves the file. Additionally, the system closes the 'Import/Export' dialog box.
